If you scroll down, there is a person asking:

and the customer service's answer:

There's a chance that's just empty words to get you buy the phone but at least something.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dado023:
indeed, i will hold on a bit with the purchase.....better safe than sorry :fingers-crossed:

QC2 maybe not but it will charge up within 2 hours with 2A charger. Eith a 4050mAh batt QC is not really a necessity. Yes microsd supported to 128Gb
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
You can also get it from aliexpress via DHL. No customs import duties for the EU. There is also a 3/32 GB version.

Did anybody try to charge it with a quickcharger 3.0 ?

Hi mates.I like to order Redmi note 3pro.one question should I ask the seller to send me unopened box with Chinese and English official rom or it is better to bay rooted with Google play.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Its better to ask for a sealed box. This way you will not have any bloatware installed by the re-seller. Also, your phone will not be rooted either way because of the locked bootloader.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] draganbandit:
Can you tell me if it's coming with English language from the box?and if its easy to put Google play?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] qkall:
the global rom isn't out but i know Chinese and English are supported with default rom. Adding the play store seems pretty simple. Involves side loading some 'google play installer' app (google for more info :) ).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] draganbandit:
Thank you mates for the information cheers ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] qkall:
Just got mine in.... Early remark from coming from a m7. Ish is awesome. Love the build, speed and features. I don't have a global ROM but unlike previous versions of miui, v7 has little Chinese.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] shank_p:
it will be selling in india from 9th march, so i guess there will be no chinese apps installed on those devices and it'll be comes

with global rom.:good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] qkall:
it looks like a 'global' rooted rom has been released from a vietnamese source. I don't know what the rule is on sharing that link but a quick google should turn it up.

I can confirm with my friend, that Redmi Note 3 PRO (Snapdragon 650) has MANUAL SHUTTER controls with FV-5 camera app!! I'm definitely getting this phone, now we have a chance to improve low light camera performance :)

This should be good. Once the Indian model ships hopefully we can flash the global ROM onto the Chinese model (Mines on the way from Aliexpress)

*hoping for smooth delivery
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrStuhl:
Ordered mine as well from Aliexpress. Should be here next week. I'm excited :D

The only thing that bothers me, is that you have to read everywhere carefully which phone is mentioned. On Forums etc. there is no special seperation to the Helio X10 Model...

Most Youtube Videos aren't even labeled with that "Pro"-Tag. Makes it unnecessary confusing.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Grantius:
Exactly, they should have released it as "pro" in India as well.

Does the Indian model support different bands to the Chinese model?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Marasd:
And also there is the prime/pro thing. When I started to look into the Redmi ote 3 Pro I was confused because I could find deviced named "Xiaomi Redmi Note 3," "Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro" and "Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Prime" I'm not completely sure of the names yet but I assume that the Pro has 3gb of ram, while the others have only 2gb.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Crocodilek:
Quick explanation:

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 - Mediatek, 2GB/16GB

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Prime - Mediatek, 3GB/32GB

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro - Snapdragon, both 2GB/16GB and 3GB/32GB

finally my RN3Pro arrived, much faster than I expected.

according to tracking, yesterday just picked from Shenzen and this evening already arrived in my doorstep..

good build.

I chose the dark-grey color, so the black bezel and screen looks nice when screen is off.

Battery about 42% when turned on.

Play Store already installed. Good sign?

[IMG="Play Store already installed"]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/d1eter/Screenshot_2016-03-11-14-21-08_com.miui.home.png[/IMG]

is it the latest ROM? 7.1.99.99 LHOCNCL

[IMG="MIUI Global 7.1 Stable"]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/d1eter/Screenshot_2016-03-11-14-18-49_com.android.settings.png[/IMG]

[IMG="No updates available"]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/d1eter/Screenshot_2016-03-11-14-19-06_com.android.updater.png[/IMG]

hmm.., what else to check?

[IMG="Antutu"]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b104/d1eter/Screenshot_2016-03-11-14-59-21_com.antutu.ABenchMark.png[/img]

haven't put simcard and external storage.

mine came with a sealed box, and I don't see many Chinese apps - bloatware.

all icons are essential system apps.

yet.., it already have Google Play installed when first turned on.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yellowflash99:
Congrats mate! Actually there's no miui global stable version yet for the rn3 pro just the Chinese version and it's 7.2.3

Enjoy!!!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] d1eter:
yeah.., I noticed.

actually according to http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html latest is 7.1.16.0 for RN3Pro

I think I'll flash it later this day.. ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] _ossie_:
Latest is 7.1.1.18. Where did the 7.1.99.99 come from? The fact that there are custom ROMs out there is a good sign.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] d1eter:
where can I find 7.1.1.18 for RN3Pro ..?

I think 7.1.99.99 is a custom ROM loaded by the vendors.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pk76:
Hi, the latest is stable 7.1.20.0 you can download here https://www.dropbox.com/s/f43dqok4d...NCL-V7.1.20.0.LHOCNCL-2757ef9749-5.1.zip?dl=0

I am confused as your link goes to miui-blockota-kenzo-V7.1.180.LHOCNCL ??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pk76:
Mate can you read link? Now I'm confused...

Just download zip and you see.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] _ossie_:
That link is just the update from 7.1.1.18 to 7.1.1.20.

Note that updating via OTA will wipe out your Google Accounts and you'll need to re-enter them.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pk76:
Yes, there is not stable 7.1.20.0 rom zip to download just update from 18 to 20. Sorry if i didn't write it clearly.

But in my case all Google apps stay untouched after update.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gn0s1s:
Interesting, so you ordered it from somewhere in Shenzhen and it came with a global rom?

Is there a way you can check what bands the phone has unlocked? The official site specs say the snapdragons should have B1 / B2 / B3 / B4 / B5 / B7 / B8 and TDD B38 / B39 / B40 / B41 (2555-2655MHz)

When I check honorbuy and xiaomidevice they show just the standard helio bands...but for the snapdragon as well. Just want to be sure I can get the max bands version.

As well on the honorbuy site, they show a normal stable rom, not the global yours shows.. but their screenshot is the 2gb pro version... so i wonder then does the 3gb come with the global rom, and 2gb come with local chinese rom... Very confusing, and with the locked bootloader situation, I d like to guess right if I was to grab one haha.

Cheers.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] d1eter:
Where can I download stable 7.1.18 ?

*edit: nevermind.. found the link already

:D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] _ossie_:
The OTA update wiped my Google Accounts only, not any of the google apps. Minor issue. Applying the zip update may not do this.

Help

Help needed - I just received my Redmi Note 3 Pro from Aliexpress. I asked for a sealed box - I didn't want it opened and reflashed with the reseller rom. It came sealed and everything was looking fine before startup - it booted directly into chinese without asking me to choose english or chinese. Now I'm stuck and can't find a way to switch to english or do a factory reset...chinese is not my language unfortunately :( Help needed with exact steps (screenshots) on how to set english as display language, thanks!

Fixed - found it on youtube - it wasn't easy at all without knowing a word in chinese - like I was blind :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Grantius:
Hey mate, could you share the youtube link?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] blichev_84:
I tried to share the link in my previous post, but I don't have enough posts in the forum. Just type "miui 7 language" in Youtube - hope this helps.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gn0s1s:
What rom did it ship with, can you post a screenshot? Was it a reseller rom, or a factory rom?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] blichev_84:
It was sealed from the factory - not a reseller rom, but the original. It updated to 7.1.18.0 over the air. I believe the reseller roms have different naming scheme and don't support OTA. Everything's fine now after switching to english and installing the google apps. I'm very happy with my new toy ;) The camera is a huge upgrade over my previous Nexus 4 I would say and I'm not talking here about the megapixel count at all - only the picture quality :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yellowflash99:
Hi Redmi note 3 owners look like the miui dev team just released the official Global stable build for the SD version (V7.1.7.0.LHOMICL).

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] d1eter:
no need to be confuse..

whatever Note 3 Pro you get, you can always flash it to Global ROM which has just been released.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dougff9:
but when they say the global rom is instable means?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] d1eter:
where did it say global rom is instable..?

my understanding, global rom is as good as stable rom.

only difference : it has less localized chinese apps, added more language, and PlayStore is already inside.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dougff9:
understood, thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] qkall:
i got an unsealed one... i removed the chinese apps and the play store was already on... any reason why i would want to switch to the global rom? also would i need to do a clean flash or is a dirty flash sufficient? i'm just not seeing a reason to switch...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Grantius:
Global ROM is for multi language etc. I'm using stock Chinese ROM which has English with no issues
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] gn0s1s:
If the play store was already on a chinese version, then you probably have a custom vendor rom... which i would flash immediately, and possibly change your passwords. MIUI's bootloader was locked for this reason, as vendors would create malware versions of miui that would keylog, install secret adware etc...

this thread talks about going from vendor to official rom

It could be completely benign, but i would flash so i know for sure.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] qkall:
I've already updated from the ota like three times. That should be cool, right? My thoughts were that since when I got it... Temp root wasn't even figured out yet. I just assumed there's like no way some vendor figured it out before the community and the official ota would override anything malicious (as I had already gotten rid of any Chinese apps that weren't apart of the system)

Sent from my Redmi Note 3
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] qkall:
not to double post... but i'm getting a bit confused/overwhlemed with all this new stuff coming through the pipeline...

the chinese dev rom just dropped and now i'm thinking... what's the addition with this? like what does it add... it seems i can figure the global vs stable is extra languages and reading the change log looks like it has a couple extra features and maybe root(i haven't read the full miui.com thread but it i can't find anything decisive but previous dev roms have it). also after reading a few unlock bootloader/upgrade methods... if i'm reading correctly - can i just download the recovery china dev rom and change name to update.zip and go to recovery and install without changing bootloader???
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pk76:
If you are using China stable rom then yes, you don't need to rename zip name to update, just from updater app choose dev rom zip and let it go. Just remember this step erase your device so make backup first.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Perfectdevil:
***Stable ROMs and Developer ROMs are all made by MIUI Official

-Developer ROMs are updated every week (except for special occassions like Chinese national holidays), and they will get bug fixes and new features in every update

-Stable ROMs (CHINA OR GLOBAL) are updated once a month/two months/even longer. They don't have a regular update frequency

You could use the stable version if you are not eager to experience new features, and don't have much knowledge about flashing your phone etc.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] qkall:
On the dev ROM. Loving app locking with fingerprint.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] _ossie_:
DEV ROM has intrinsic root. Security App, Permissions, Root Access ...

First time will download a zip to install root (after many confirmations).

From then you can give individual apps root access.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xander_90:
adaway can't work with this root method. it says the copying of hosts file failed.

i tried to install supersu from playstore but it doesn't work

also tried to flash supersu through twrp but the phone doesn't boot.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] _ossie_:
Use ES File Explorer / (Turn on Root Explorer) to edit your hosts file.

Run the app once - it will fail for no root access.

Then Open Security App, Go to Permissions, and grant Root Access to ES File Explorer

Then run ES File explorer again (may need reboot?)

You may have to set permissions on your hosts file or \etc folder first.

Agree, you cannot flash SuperSU because there is no working TWRP solution yet. [MENTION=340154]feds64[/MENTION] method works temporarily but need to reflash ROM and then TWRP disappears after boot.

and the rom from Sphinx:

- this one comes with root and Super SU

-supports german language

-adawy is also working

Right now I am waiting for the unlock code to install TWRP in order to flash rom with recovery method and no longer with MiFlash and Fastboot method:

Can you flash the Sphinx ROM without needing unlocked bootloadrr? Or wiping your device?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] slawoko:
Yes, you can do it. You have to use the fastboot method, with this device just follow the instruction..

to unlock the bootloader one need the code from mi...afterwards you can install twrp
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] _ossie_:
Yep. All works now, however on first attempt I did not wipe data or reflash ROM. This resulted in no WLAN and lagginess.

I then wiped and reflashed ROM but wouldn't boot.

So I reflashed kernel and everything worked.

But it takes ages to reboot from TWRP - maybe 10 minutes?

Have posted the same in MIUI forums.

The thing is, Android N will be released soon, so after summer, new phones with N version will be out, and "old" android hardware wont get that upgrade in next two years, or probably never.

i understand what everyone is talking about with the new android, but as someone who has had android devices of every possible version since 1.5, i can say that some updates were very good and some were disappointing. but so far android 5 is the windows 10 of android. very fast, very intuitive, great looking-smooth operating OS that works well with 1gb of ram aswell as taking full advantage of 3-4. besides i hope this does get the update anyway. despite loving android 5, i will of course try 6 as soon as possible, but if my phone (i don't have the redmi 3) will not get updated i will be ok with it. i think that the helios version looks like a great value-for-money and looks balanced between the needs of those who want the phone to last the whole day working, and those who just want a gaming machine, and with 3 gb ram it sure can hold it's multytasking.

already use this device 2 days. what i can say the performance is superb, sleek and smooth. great battery life. 50% left, already 5 hours sot.

only i feel bad about this device is camera so poor, not great loudspeaker. to much different with my old oppo find 7.

and im still feels so down because its looks like so hard to root this device. only choice i can root with void my warranty unlock bootloader

but with that price, almost half compare with my old find 7, what i can tell is this phone just to great and worth to buy
